Say Goodbye to Dental Fear with Ultra-Relaxing Conscious Sedation

You’re not alone if you get nervous just thinking about going to the dentist. It’s not uncommon to feel that way. The good news, IV sedation can make your dental experience much better.

With this type of sedation, your dentist will give you medicine through a vein that lets you relax deeply. After receiving it, you may feel like you were sleeping. You likely won’t remember much about your procedure after it’s over. You will be continuously monitored throughout your treatment.

Dr. Despain has received the advanced training needed to offer IV sedation to his patients.  It offers many benefits:

  • Works Fast – You’ll feel the effects quickly, typically in less than five minutes.
  • Leaves You Responsive – While you’ll feel deeply relaxed and even drowsy, you won’t be asleep. You’ll be able to respond to your dentist when needed.
  • Easy to Adjust – Unlike an oral sedative, Dr. Despain can adjust the amount of medication when needed.

While you’ll experience less grogginess than with general anesthesia, you’ll need to avoid driving and similar activities for at least several hours.

It works especially well for:

  • Wisdom Teeth Removal – Taking out these troublesome back teeth is no big deal when you’re comfortably sedated.
  • Dental Implants – Getting implants placed feels much easier with sedation.
  • Multiple Fillings – Sedation allows you to fix several cavities in one visit instead of coming back multiple times.
  • Root Canals – You won’t feel nervous about this tooth-saving procedure when you’re sedated.
